‘The View’s’ Joy Behar Rushed To Hospital After ‘Avacado Hand’ Scare

Joy Behar, one of the co-hosts of ABC’s The View, was hospitalized after she accidentally stabbed her hand with a knife while trying to remove a pit from an avocado. The comedienne suffered an ailment that is becoming all too common in emergency rooms after a surge in popularity of the healthy fruit, called “avocado hand.”

Behar was absent from the show’s table on Monday, June 11, as she continued to recuperate from her injury. Upon her return to the series on June 12, the 75-year-old explained how she suffered the mishap. “Saturday night, on my way to an event, I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife,” Behar said, as reported by People. “I was trying to desperately eat something, so I was trying to open up an avocado and I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out and I stabbed myself,” she shared.
